Morocco fans celebrate historic World Cup win over Spain

This will be the first time the Atlas Lions will feature in a World Cup quarter-final.

Doha, Qatar – It was ecstasy for Morocco and sheer anguish for Spain as the Atlas Lions defeated the former world champions on penalties at Qatar’s Education City Stadium and secured a quarter-final berth for the first time in World Cup history.

After Achraf Hakimi scored the winning penalty, Moroccan fans were jubilant beyond words, hugging and jumping with friends and family.

“I can’t believe it. This is one of the greatest moments in my life,” 27-year-old Amal Galidi told Al Jazeera. The Fez resident said both “Arabs and Africans” will be the “happiest people today”. “God has listened to our prayers,” he proclaimed.
